Our developmentally appropriate curriculum and programs are based on the nationally acclaimed Creative Curriculum® designed to address the whole child – social, emotional, physical, and intellectual.
Kid’s Corner uses The Creative Curriculum and earned one of the highest ratings in the state, as a 4-Star School. The Creative Curriculum embraces the differences among our students, knowing that each child is a unique and complex learner. It focuses on developing social, cognitive and learning skills through active learning, child-directed play and teacher-supported activities.
Our preschool curriculum takes into account that a child’s skills develop together as a continuum rather than separate, independent skills. That’s why we create a learning environment that develops these skills in tandem, including academic, cognitive, and social skills.

Our before and after school program is designed to provide a creative environment where school-age children are encouraged to participate in arts and crafts, games, field trips, and activities that foster individual skills and cooperative teamwork. Our teachers consider each student’s unique needs and offer a range of assistance from help with homework to providing a quiet place to read and study.
Our unique enrichment programs extend our curriculum one step further and are provided at no extra charge so that every child is included.
Our enrichment programs include:
Our professionally trained instructor guides children through a series of activities designed to build and refine your child’s motor skills. Our program includes movement, gymnastics, exercise, listening and cooperation. Each child receives individual attention and progresses at their own pace in a fun and positive environment.
Every class combines a fun learning adventure with sophisticated technology concepts in a creative way that teaches your child to use computers as a tool. Children work on their own wireless laptops using Imagine Tomorrow software that is custom built for each lesson and designed to enhance your child’s academic and technical abilities. Each small class is led by a certified Imagine Tomorrow teacher. Parents receive an online password to access lessons learned in each class and software activities for reinforcement at home.
Our program will provide your child with a lively, age-appropriate introduction to Spanish vocabulary, verbal skills, and culture. By utilizing songs, games and art projects, our instructor makes learning Spanish fun and exciting. Research shows that children who learn a second language demonstrate enhanced listening and memory skills, are more creative and better at complex problem solving, and have an innate ability to acquire the rules of any language.
